from A, Asquith Just how far the Young Liberals are prepared to go in their efforts to posture as "the" radical youth movement is shown by the speech of Mr, George Kiloh, chairman of the National League of Young Liberals, at the Oxford University Liberal Group, in October 16, He said that the hecklers who had interrupted the church service at Brighton where Mr. Wilson was reading the lesson, had been "absolutely right." If the churches wanted to offer a forum for Government Ministers to speak, then they must expect heckling. He also said the biggest danger in the boom in Young Liberal membership was that they would lose their revolutionary fervour (shades of Mao!), They had an opportunity which was denied to other parties because they recognised the strains under which young people operated today. "We are often criticised for being outside the mainstream of politics. But we have no desire to be part of a river of bilge that is flowing, if at all, in the wrong direction."
